subiemech85 Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 check choke kickdown, vac leaks, and gaskets pour mmo down carb to fog system clean use carb cleaner in tank, pour in at 1/2 tank or less, repeat 2x adjust idle speed with a LONG slot type cabinet screwdriver, it sticks out behind the ps pump, you'll know when you find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossta86 Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 check the slack in your throttle cable, if it is too tight it will cause your car not to idle correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
